Tescou
The Tescou is a tributary of the Tarn in the basin of the Garonne in southern France. It flows through the departments of Tarn, Tarn-et-Garonne and Haute-Garonne.
The source is near Gaillac in the Massif Central, and its confluence with the Tarn is near Montauban in the Tarn-et-Garonne department in the Occitanie administrative region.
In 2014 construction work began on the Sivens Dam, to supply irrigation for local farms.
On 25 October 2014, Rémi Fraisse, a 21-year-old student protesting against the Sivens Dam across the Tescou, was killed after being hit in the back by a grenade, sparking further violent protests.
